Why haven't I seen Brennan's name mentioned before? Is this just a case of Kiper throwing out some names so he can say he mentioned it first or is Brennan really that good a talent? Could Brennan forego his final year of eligibility and declare for the 2007 draft?_________________

I dont know much about Brennan but I have heard that he is a very good prospect. He's putting up huge numbers with Hawaii (but who doesnt?) averaging 375 yards passing per game with 43 TDs. I think he needs to put on some weight as he only weighs 190. Its very interesting that Kiper put him above guys like Brohm. Anyone got some more info on him?

I never am sold on Hawaii qb.. Hawaii just need a qb that can throw enough. OL has done well for Hawaii as usual... It would be stupid if he decides to forgo his senior for NFL because he is no better than Chang who took him forever to understand NFL.

Brennan was a CU Buff for a while, but was dismissed for disciplinary reasons - plead guilty to burglary and trespassing. He was banished to Saddleback college before June Jones rediscovered him. So does that give him a bit more credibility than the typical Hawaii QB? Also, if I had a nickel for every post I read last year that said "I can't believe Kiper has Alex Smith that high - what a joke!", I would be filthy rich.

I'm not sure about ranking him higher than Brohm, but he is definately close. I jumped on the Colt Brennan bandwagon a few days ago after researching him more closely. I never really looked at him or took him seriously. I watched some game film and the kid is for real. Yes, his release isn't the "perfect" release, but when you look at the accuracy, velocity, and quickness he gets rid of the ball with, I would leave it as is. When he drops back in the pocket, his feet never stop moving, he has great footwork for a QB. His feet are quick and he can escape the pressure if need be. As soon as he is dropping back you can see him to begin progressing through his WRs. He is very good at finding the open WR and getting the ball to him quickly. He is fast enough to take off running and do some damage if the coverage is good. He isn't as quick as Troy Smith or anything... but, still has some good ability.

This isn't Kiper thowing his name out there. He has the skills. i don't go by stats at all, and i'd say that he is one of the better QBs in the NCAA right now. Probably Top 5. I have him as the 2nd best junior.

Now, you can say what you want, but I really think that he will be good. I caught the same kind of flack last year when I claimed that Cutler should be a top 15 pick in october._________________FF Member #1000

I already knew about Brennan and Colorado titanrick and he has never impressed me. He makes a lot of sloppily thrown balls and he benefits greatly from the system he is in. He looks like the type of guy who would crumble against a defense like Michigan, LSU, OSU, etc.

Not saying he won't be a good prospect, but he hasn't done anything so far to warrant being rated that high._________________

I can respect that opinion. It's when someone says "Who's he? What a joke!" that I just roll my eyes. Just because you haven't heard of a guy doesn't automatically make him a bozo. Do the research and bring an informed opinion!_________________

Colt has an unorthodox throwing style but he works the progression, never stops moving his feet and has a gun slingers arm.

After watching the game film on him i would say he is the 2nd QB taken in the 2008 seasons draft. Which would be after Brohm because i don't think he will declare this year. With Chad Henne next years draft would be loaded with QB's. Now i think Jamarcus Russell would serve himself best by coming out for this years draft.
